with the wrecking of a freight train a
Elm Park, six miles east of Kansas City

A petition has been filed in the general
land office by citizens of White Pine
county, Nevada, asking the intervention
of the land department to protect settlers
against the unlawful appropriation OF
public lands by foreign sheep raisers. The
petition alleges that there are several COM
panies of Englishmen, mostly aliens, hav-
ing large f1ocks of sheep, which travel
from water to water, destroying the grass
and communicating the water used by set
tiers for domestic purposes. Acting
Commissioner Stockslager has directed
that an investigation of the matter be

A Beef Famine Threatened.

"A Chicago paper says: 1t is assumed
in many quarters that beef famine is
not far away. Estimates as to the des-
truction in the northwest last winter
are that in Montana there were 100000
head, Idaho about 100000, Wyoming
about 100000, and Colorado about 50O,-
GOO, or about 100000 head in all. Dur
ing the summer, on account of the ex-
cessive heat, it is estimated that the
losses in the beef-producing states will
swell the total to l ,5OO,O 600 head of beeves.
But this is not the main fact which in
dicates the future famine. 1t is now
known that from so to IS per cent. less
of calves were born this spring than is
usual, owing to climatic causes, which
must have it's effect in time. To this
must be added the fact that the cattle
producers have been rushing their sur
viving stock on the market at an un-
paralleled rate, and from these and 9TH
er causes many ranchmen are discour-
dSCU d1lu d1C SOilS OuC VI CAC OuoAACoo'
Great uneasiness, such as has never be-
fore characterized the cattle business,
is manifest in business circles. The
producer finds not dollar of profit, and
more often heavy losses charged against
his account. The market price has been
lower on account Of the glut, for in
Chicago alone over 2OO,OOo head of cat
tie have been thrust on the market dur
ing the last thirty days. The consumer
however gets beef no cheaper, because
the producer sells it for so little that it
is limited the profit goes to the dressed
beef monopoly, who lash both sides,
producer and consumer, alike. On
every bullock there is profit of $40 to
the monopoly and either loss or an even
thing for the producer. The consumer
pays the monopoly an extra $40 profit.

Great Mines of the Earth.

Virginia Enterprise: The world-famed
Potosi mines, of Bolivia, yielded from
1916 to 1898, a period of 244 years, 81, ,OOC,-
OOOOOO This sum is large, but to OBJ
tain it the lives of five generations of
miners was required. In tWenty-Seven
wears the Comstock mines have yielded
$41O,OOO,OOO, and new system Of work.
ing is now being inaugnrated by which
the lode will be made to yield up as
much more in the next thirty years.
But three mines in all the earth have
produced more bullion than the Com
stock. These are the Potosi, with
s1 600 100000; Sierra Madre, S8OO,OOO,-
600: and the Rio Grande, $3.50, 900, 900.
Next to the Comstock comes the Veta
Madre, with a yield of $685., ,955, 600.
The next in order, the Parnlllian, with
$7O,OOO,OOO shows quick drop, and the
Weld of other mines Of note then runs
from S3O,OOO,OOO down to $16,OOO,OOO.
The annual production of the whole
world is now S2OOOOOOOO. Half of this
amount is produced in the United
States. For twenty-five years past India
has absorbed $3s, 100000 and China $9,-
100000, being $47,OOO,OOO year. There
are annually used in the arts in United
States gold and silver bullion to the
value of $15,OOO,OOO, and in the rest OF
the world not less than $35, 100000,
making total of $6O,OOO,OOO. and for
loss and abrasion S3,O0O,OOO more may
be set down. Thus thereis left for the
purposes of coinage for the whole
world s10O,OOO,OOO; yet there are those
who howl about over-production of sill
YER and who wish to see it debased and
sold like pig iron or bar lead.

$40 FEET UNDER GROUND.
Some Savannah Boys Have Good
Time in Luray Cave.


RAPID ANN, VA, Sept. Isl send a
few lines that Savannah friends may hear
something of the descent of 270 feet into the
bowels of the earth, of several Savannah
school boys. We crossed the Blue Ridge
Mountains at ''Thornton's Gap" in convey
ances, and were delighted with the appear
ance of the towering peaks of the noun
tains, reaching above the white floating
clouds; most of us never having witnessed
such a sight before; every turn of tho ''ser-
pentine pike brought another grand view
of magnificent scenery, until the boys in
wild delight made the mountains echo,
and re-echo with their shouts
of appreciation. Even the horses
seemed TO partake of our enthusiasm, and
carried us down the mountain at a fearful
speed, reaching the Lurly caverns at 5 p.
m. We at once commenced the descent into
the caverIs. fortunately, we were alone,
with only Capt. Taliaferro and Prof. Balm,
so we had every opportunity of dwelling
upon the mighty wonders we saw.
| think tAe i'm .taJIon freaks of the stalac-
tite formation are not so wonderful, al
though in many instances so remarkable as
to make a lasting impression upon our
youthful minds. Only think of a dozen
boys waltzing on smooth floor of marble
formation 30 feet below the surface of the
earthl The ceiling of this grand under
ground bathroom frescOed with Stalac-
titic formation, is grander than anything
we have ever read OF concerning King Sol
onions temple
We were struck with the fact that it takes
100 years, to form one square
inch of this formation. Again we were
astonished TO behold mighty column that
is said by scientists to have fallen four thou
sand years ago. The grand and mighty
drapery hanging a hundred feet above,
alone paid MS tenfold for our trip. The
wonderful chimes produced by our guide,
upoa the stalacric pIpes gust 10 the left of
the organ, surpassed anything we heard in
the way OF music But NV pm is unqual to
the task of describing allswe saw.
